California: Hartnell faculty members protest

The Monterey Herald: Hartnell faculty members protest

Thirty Hartnell College faculty members picketed in front of a Salinas business owned by the president of the college’s board of trustees to protest stalled contract negotiations.

The action also was staged to draw attention to a recent independent report that called on Hartnell administrators to increase faculty wages and benefits.

Faculty members arrived in front of the parking lot at McShane’s Nursery & Landscape Supply on Monterey-Salinas Highway a little after 3:30 p.m. Friday. However, board of trustees president Steve McShane was nowhere to be seen. His staff said he was on his way back to Salinas from Denver. He could not be reached Friday for a comment.
